PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu says people should not think that because he is President, he can’t throw punches.

And President Lungu says some individual should not dare him into a boxing ring because his punch will knock him out cold.

Speaking upon arrival in Ndola at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe airport today, President Lungu said his silence does not mean he cannot hit back.

He boasted that if he decided to draw a punch and hit, he would not only strike but he would knock out the individual to a point where he would never stand up.

“Naka nyelele nga mwakatinta tinta kala suma, (even an ant can bite if you continue poking it)…it doesn’t mean nga ndesola ama koffi teti mpose (if I am ducking punches, it doesn’t mean I cannot throw. If I declare war on one individual, he shall not rise,”

President Lungu said in apparent reference to Roan PF member of parliament Chishimba Kambwili who has launched a vigorous campaign against corruption in the PF government.

Kambwili recently challenged Lungu to respond to his allegations of corruption at State House and dared law enforcement agencies to arrest him if what he was saying was not true.

However, State House, according to spokesperson Amos Chanda, has opted not to respond to Kambwili’s corruption allegations but “to ignore him”.

President Lungu said that he was a calm and composed man but the continuous antagonistic position against him would cause him to react.

Kambwili and opposition party leaders have also challenged President Edgar Lungu to explain to the nation the source of his sudden wealth.

President Lungu, however, said that his love and faith in God and Christianity were his guide in his rule.
